I have told you severally, that my wife gave me an on-the-spot answer and we got married 3 months 3 days after. For those that are close to me, I used to tell them that, my first date gave an answer within a week while my second, gave her answer on the spot too. And that if I asked you out and your answer passed a week, I’m not interested again
But that is half of the story, because by reading and holding up to that story, you may start to think , ‘God why I am unlucky with lady?’ not knowing that I have 16 ladies who rejected my proposal, a hateful girlfriend’s mum, followed by 8 years break, and a premium breakfast. One of them said I look like his dad ๐. Another said, she will rather die ๐ฅ . One called Joke (not Cynthia oo) turned the proposal into committee of friends affairs ๐ and one was dribbling me ๐ฌ
Another example, you all know Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook owner and how he dropped out of school. But that is half of the story. The whole story was that, he dropped out from Harvard University and that Mark is from a rich family like Bill Gates and Aliko Dangote. With or without creating Facebook, he (Mark) can’t be poor (he may not be popular though).
So don’t dropped out of school as the child of pepper seller oo. Your fight is different
Also, If I’m always telling you that Marriage is sweet, I’m correct but if I fail in telling you that the sweetness requires work, forgiveness, overlooking some silliness, and many other things, I am only telling you, half of the story.
People will only tell you that sweetest and easiest part of their stories, either to inspire or to tension you. Your job is to find the whole story and pick the needed lessons applicable to your destiny and move.
Even if you don’t have access to the whole story, don’t ever have it in mind, that your situation is the worst, you are not trying enough or be inspired by the wealth of someone who you don’t know his/her antecedent.
Therefore, don’t let a pastor tell you it is only grace of God that is helping him in the ministry, tell the pastor to tell you about seminary attended, friendships made, books read, connection enjoyed, etc.
Don’t let any successful businessman/woman tell you na God ooo, tell him/her to tell you about how the friendship won his first breakthrough contract, seed money from his/her uncle, grants won, gifts received and encouragement gotten.
The story is more than that. Even my wife’s instant answer was an answer to a prayer prayed 10 years before meeting her.
May God gives you understanding.
